Note, Vault 1.x and 2.x license numbers cannot directly be upgraded to a Vault 3.5 license. Vault 1.x and 2.x licenses will need to be upgraded to a Vault 3.1 license. The resulting license can then be upgraded to Vault 3.5.

Installation Notes

The Server upgrade to Vault 3.5 may take longer than previous Vault Server upgrades due to new indexing added to the database.

Please ensure you have a verified backup of your database before upgrading, and upgrade at a time when it is convenient to not have access to the server. On very large Vault installations, the upgrade may take several hours.

Vault 3.5 is not backwards compatible with previous versions of Vault. In essence, Vault 3.5 clients will only interact with Vault 3.5 servers and vice versa. Vault 2.0, 3.0, and 3.1 clients and servers are not compatible with Vault 3.5 clients and servers.
